Huether expects the devaluation stops. Due to the policy of the ECB, in future, banks buy out high-risk securities, investors’ cheap money deducted from Europe and to invest in higher interest rates in the United States.

Nowotny: Weaker euro nourishes optimism for growth in 2015
OeNB boss Ewald Nowotny sees it differently: The weaker euro makes on its assessment on stronger economic growth hope in the euro zone next year. He also wear help to insulate the danger of too low inflation, he said in Washington on the edge of the Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. “The reasons why we expect an improvement in 2015 are, above all, that the export side clearly attracts here,” Nowotny told reporters.
“We are seeing a slowdown, a depreciation of the euro against the dollar. ” Such shortages are not only conducive to exports from, but also have “a positive effect on the inflation rate, which currently is so far below what is our objective”.

Coeure. Austerity is largely complete in Europe
The most European countries have made progress in the view of the Governing Director Benoit Coeure with the consolidation of its public finances. Therefore, a discussion of austerity in Europe is largely completed, Coeure said on Friday at a lecture at Johns Hopkins University in Washington. In the past four years, European governments have been forced by the financial markets to tighten their belts considerably closer. Many European countries have done their homework. However, there are some states that are far from their budgetary targets.
In obvious allusion to France Coeure said that it was unfair to be lenient in countries which did not reform efforts. The French government wants to reduce its budget deficit, given the difficult economic situation in small steps. The gap will be according to plan this year to 4.4 percent in 2015 and 4.3 percent of economic output. Also in 2016 the minus 3.8 percent are still well above the conditions laid down in the EU treaties limit of three percent. This should only 2,017 below 2.8 percent again – two years later than originally planned
